THE PLEASURE PLANET

GURPS Traveller Planetary Survey 1

"Welcome to Kamsii,
a World of Fun!Take in our wonderful
Nature Parks, from glaciers to tropical jungles, or try aride onthe Supernova roller coaster in the Natassia Valley which travels slowly
along the canyon with beautiful rocks and fossils on one side and a mile-deep
drop on the other, then plunge down that drop in a half a minute, swooping back
up again to leave the tracks for a hair raising six seconds as you leap the
Canyon!For something a little more
laid back, try one of our wonderful museums, admire ancient treasures such as
the Gutenberg Bible, X-Men #1 or the Giivaash parchments.Or live the excitement of ancient times in
one of or Historical recreations, ride with Attila the Hon or Eneri the
Conqueror, travel with Amundsen to the Antarctic or with Cleon II to Thutmos
IV.Want to have fun without the kids?
Send them to Camp Kamsii, where our skilled counsellors will keep them so busy
with exciting activities that they won't miss you, for day or a month.There's no end to the excitement and
entertainment that can be found on Kamsii!"

GURPS Traveller Planetary Survey 1: KAMSII
- The Pleasure Planet is the first of a new series of 32-page books, each of
which will take a detailed look at a single planet.This is a comic book size format, with a colour map of the planet
on the inside front cover and a half page colour sector map on the inside back
cover.The book has next to nothing in
the way of game specific rules, focusing on background material and
descriptions.It's designed to fit into
the GURPS Traveller setting but could be adapted to any other game system very
easily. Kamsii is a world dedicated to it's Guests, they must be entertained,
educated, and have as much fun as possible in a completely safe environment,
and woe be it to anyone who interferes with that design!Everything is constantly monitered to ensure
things run smoothly, should an accident or unpleasant incident occur, highly
trained teams are dispatched to ensure that it is taken care of quickly.Damage control on Kamsii is quick, massive
and leaves most witnesses, and even victims feeling that they've been
lucky!Even the animals in the Nature
parks are safe, they've all been implanted with specially designed Kamsii chips
to ensure they behave! As it says on the back cover "The Kamsii Company
says everybody will have a good time, and nobody crosses the Company. Not
twice."

I found this book to be well put together,
there's not quite enough information to run a whole campaign on Kamsii, but
more than enough to run several adventures with a little preparation time by a
Gamemaster ahead of time.It's sort of
like Disneyland as run by the Illuminati on a planetary scale. It strikes a
good balance in that you could take the material that's presented and go
several directions with it, from very comic to very dark and probably be
successful with either approach or anything in between. The $8.95 price tag is
a little high for 32 pages of material, but not unreasonably so.If this is a typical example of what the
Planetary Survey'sare going to be
like, I'll keep buying them.
